Accidentally Deleted Files

I had documents saved to my desktop that I moved into a folder on my desktop and when I erased them, I couldnt open the documents at all. They are now labled Alias... What do I do?
Can I retrieve the documents some how?

I deleted the document off of my desktop after putting it into a folder thats on my desktop. Now I cant open the file at all. I'm sure it's because I deleted the file, but I didnt know I was making a sort of short cut into my folder, I thought I was just moving the files themeselves. Now I cant open the documents I have, it says they are Alias's which arent the actual file.
I dont know if thats clear, but my issue is recovering deleted files/documents.

    I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies.  Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?

    When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
    selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
    one . . .).

  • Best utility for recovering accidentally deleted files?

    Hello,
    I accidentally deleted some files that I would like to get back.  I deleted them from Trash but I did not use the "secure delete" method.  I am using OSX 10.9.2.  I browsed Apple's app store and found a handfull of recovery utilities, but none that were not called "junk" by at least one reviewer.  Can someone recommend a file recovery utility that has worked well for them?
    Thanks.

    And, you should stop using the computer as the space occupied by those deleted files will be written over with whatever you are doing now and makes the files less recoverable. (Your hard drive is like a re-writeable CD/DVD - a bunch of songs or data; you delete one but replace it with a different one, so the space is being used again).

  • Recover Accidentally Deleted Files in OS X via Terminal, "command not found"

    Hi!
    I am trying to recover a folder from the trash. It was deleted 30 min ago. The command I am trying to use is;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
    And the response is;
    -bash: com.apple.Finder: command not found
    When I open any Terminal window I get this message, I don't know if this is relevant;
    Last login: Wed Nov 13 08:27:40 on ttys001
    I have found some similar replies on the forum but they do not seem to work in my case. I'm new to Terminal so I would really appreciate the help to find the cause and to resolve my problem.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you so much. This is the reply that I got;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ ls -a .Trash
    .                                        Cherry Blossoms
    ..                                        FLiCKS
    .DS_Store                              Nicholas Nickleby (1977)
    13 Tzameti                              Robin Hood (2010)
    Catch-22 [1970]                              We Live in Public 2009
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ mv .Trash/FLiCKS .
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ mv .Trash/FLiCKS
    usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
           mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
    It is the FLiCKS folder that I am trying to retreive. Does this mean that I can retreive it? And if so, when I use the command mv .Trash/filename, where should it appear? Sorry for not fully understanding the instructions.
    I also tend to empty the trash cumpulsively, which is how this happened in the first place. Trying to empty the files already in the trash but accidentally having had this folder selected I emptied that and kept the files that I didn't want.
    The trash folder still has the size as if the folder FLiCKS is still in there though, if that makes any difference?
    Thank you for all of your help.

  • Recovering accidentally deleted files

    I accidentally emptied the trash while i was trying to put files back and now i cannot get my files back

    If there is any chance of recovery at all your best bet is Prosoft Data Rescue. There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. Don't do any more operations on that Mac until you download and run it.
    Also, a service that has been recommended but I cannot personally endorse is DriveSavers.
    Look here for advice on deleting the folder.

  • Accidentally deleted files in LR2.6.6

    I have had severall instances of multiple selected images having been deleted without any warning at all. They can recovered from the Recycle Bin in Windows, but have to be reimported into LR. I do know what I did to delete them and hence how to avoid it happening. Please can anybody help?

    My real problem is not how to restore these files which I have already done, but to understand  how the files got deleted without any warning being given. This would seem to be a bug in LR which ought to be fixed by Adobe.

  • Itunes restoring songs accidentally Deleted files

    While in genre i wanted to delete a single song but deleted a whole genre and many songs. when it asked if i wnated to delete from Library i said no. Many of my hard won and favorite songs. How do i restore to my itunes library. I have frequent back ups with Time machine? One keystroke and i delete d a ton of stuff. Itunes 11 +

    This is asked and answered many times each day. Try a forum search.
    Where is your back up? You should always maintain a back up of important info/music/pics for this very reason.

  • Retrieving accidentally deleted files

    Created a new word doc using docs to go on playbook.
    Thought I had saved it but hadn't, closed the application and can't find the file. I would like to retrieve the lost file. Anyone know if playbook would have created a temporary file or backup that I could retrieve?
    Thanks

    most likely its gone if it was not saved, there is no recovery software to get it back either

  • Finding accidentally deleted files from pages

    I was working on an essay when my pages decided to shut down, saying there was an error. I was nearly finished and do not want to start again! How can I retrieve this file !

    Sad news, Matthew. If it was not saved, it's gone. You don't have Time Machine set up?
    If you do a search, you can find several auto-saves referenced. Sounds like something you need.

  • I have accidentally emptied the trash and deleted files that i was trying to put back

    I have emptied the trash accidentally, deleting files that i was trying to put back! Can you help me to recover them?

    I cannot recommend any specific data recovery software because I have not been in a situation where I needed it.  I am fairly diligent having my important data backed up (two copies) so this is not a problem for me.  Do look at Time Machine (one of my two backups) since it is very easy to set up and use.  Look through these forums for situations where others have had to recover data and see if they mention specific recovery software.
    Do not take these remarks as my being condescending. I am simply stating the facts.  Try to view the price of the software as punishment for your faux pas.  We all make mistakes and I have committed my share, but not in data loss. 
    Ciao.

  • Does Revel have a backup retention for deleted files in the cloud and what is the encryption level it uses both end-to-end and locally?

    I'm interested in the premium version of this service however I'd like to know if:
    1. Revel has any kind of cloud backup feature for accidentally deleted files.
    2. What encryption strength does it use for it's end-to-end transfers and also for the local app and cloud storage
    3. Does it have 2 stage authentication?
    I ask because I need something picture friendly but is also HIPAA and SEC compliant.
    thanks!

    Hi nick2048,
    We take security and privacy very seriously and send all communication over encrypted channels.
    However, as a consumer photo site that supports user sharing, it is not our goal to achieve HIPAA certification
    Hope this helps!

  • Recover deleted files in Oes 11 NSS

    What options do you have to recover accidentally deleted files in Oes 11 NSS? Salvage did not work. With google you can find many different tools, e.g. Stellar Phoenix Novell Data Recovery (NSS), but does anybody have any real experience on how to do that or what are best available tools? NSS disk is ok and there's nothing broken there, just accidental delete without backup.

    No experience with file systems level data recovery. I know some of this is only useful if you also have a time machine, but NSS has that "built in" if you enable salvage, and if you keep > 10% of the pool free. And there there is having a tested recovery mechanism... that would be helpful. But the key features of a tool I would use would be non-destructive recovery, it should not be writing to the disk. Before using any tool, get a proper backup / recovery system in place so that if the data recovery tool eats your disks, you can get the rest of your data back. In instances like this, if you can't gurantee that the bit-twiddling utility won't (further) corrupt your disk, I'd go to the effort of making a disk image of the disk holding the pool.

  • Recover deleted files from emptied trash

    Hi I was wondering if there's a way to recover files from the trash if I emptied.In OS 9.x I usually used the Norton but it doesn't works in OSX. Does any body know if there's a free utility to recover deleted files.
